Supposedly a new mini is in the works for 2020 with mini LED screen, explains why it was on the caution list buyers guide, is this a big enough reason to wait on buying ?
In late 2020?I’m pretty sure the iPad Pro will get it first.
That mini LED, greater screen resolution and new features found in the iPhone 11 Max will be moving to the 2020/2021 iPad Mini. A14, 6GB RAM, Face ID, rear cameras, bezel less glass and improvements in technology. Of course the price will be bumped up too.
Yes! iPad Pro Mini!
Nah. The moment you throw a Pro tag on their devices the price jumps substantially without really justifying it.
What do you think the current age group of iPad mini 5 users is.....would many people over 40 buy one.?I recently picked up a Mini 5 to go along with my Pro 11”... that was about 2 months ago and I’ve been using the Mini about 85 to 90% of the time as far as iPad use is concerned. What prompted me to get the mini was that along with it being a great size for reading ebooks, the portability and lighter form factor played a crucial role in my purchase decision. I still use my Pro 11” on occasion but I never realized how much I missed using an iPad mini as my main iPad until I tried it again after a few years of using larger iPads.
When the rumors started about a Mini LED iPad Pro being in the works I was sure I was gonna want to get that when it’s finally released. But then I read about the Mini LED iPad mini and I honestly think I’d rather go with that. If they give it a fresh new design with smaller bezels and maybe face I.D. and provided it’s not ridiculously expensive I can pretty much guarantee that I’ll be picking one of those up!!!
I like to switch it up every now then when good upgrades come out and the mini is the perfect size and form factor for my use case. So a redesigned mini that looks a little more modern for 2020 or 2021 with upgraded specs and the benefits of Mini LED is pretty much my dream tablet... crossing my fingers that it comes to be!!!
There seem to be a number of seniors on MobileRead who like to use the iPad mini 5 as a bigger but still relatively lightweight cross-platform alternative to store-linked e-ink readers like the Kindle and Kobo.What do you think the current age group of iPad mini 5 users is.....would many people over 40 buy one.?

There's a market for it to be sure. The question is whether Apple thinks the market for a 7.9" iPad Pro (likely at $699) is big enough for them to cater to.A mini Pro might just be the best of both worlds though... Is there a market for that device? I certainly hope so, cause I for one will be first in line to pick one of those up!!
Yeah... might be wishful thinking on my part... but, when u think about it, a 256GB iPad Mini 5 and an Apple pencil costs about $699 give or take... so it's not too much of a streatch.There's a market for it to be sure.
